I am a professional Kansan and I live in this circle.
Okay, okay.
Hi! I’m Jon Korte.
I am a data and software engineer with 8+ years of combined experience. These days I specialize in dbt, SQL, AWS services, and in the past, Typescript, React, and GraphQL. My first love was C++.
I am a lifelong learner. I’ve had the honor of working with brilliant people, friends who I’ve mentored and learned from alike, challenging each other to think in more efficient, effective, and practical ways.
In the past 8 years, I’ve had the privilege of working on a variety of projects. From a web app for a local bank, to proprietary software contracted by the DOD, to MBSE workflows using OpenMETA to modernize legacy airplane component analyses for Airbus, to helping the State of Colorado transform their mainframe-based payroll data in the cloud.
The unpredictability of my next adventure is what excites me.
Interested? Here’s my resume!
There’s so much more to learn, and I try to capture what I do learn on my blog. Knowledge is not for hoarding, so pass it ’round!
Random facts:
- I have been a self-taught artist for 25 years.
- I used to be in an Irish band for 7.5 years. It was dope.
- I play bagpipes.
- I probably have too many instruments.
- I speak Connacht Irish more than anyone asks me to.
- If A=1 and Z=26, then there are no even-numbered vowels. This is not very amazing but it still makes me smile.
